The Century for April.

The opening article Of the April.
Century is also the beginning of
the series Of papers on English
Cathedrals, the introduction to
which was printed in the March
number-the text being by Mrs
NJ. G. Van Resselaer and the illus
trations by Joseph Pennell. Upon
this work Mr.. Pennell has been
engaged for many months, and the
illustrations printed in this article
on the Mother Church of
England" as Mrs. van Rensselaer,
characterizes Can tsrbury, shows
union of architectural faithful
ness and picturesque interest nn-
usual in drawings of such subjects.
The edifice is shown from differ
ent points of view and in many
aspects of light and shade The
aim of this series is to make a
popular presentation, not only of
the interesting points in the his
tory of English architecture, but
also of its artistic bearings.
Mr.. Joel Chandler Harris is the
author of story in this number
entitled Little Compton" the
scene of which is laid in Georgia,
before, during, and at the close of
the War, the characters including
representatives of the Northern
and Southern sentiment. The
illustrations, by Mr.. A. B. Frost,
include striking view of "Maior
Jimmy Bats" surrounding the
enemy" and the story, apart
from It's interest as fiction, is
a contribution to the better under
standing of the War.

THE SCHOOL HOUSE AGAIN.

In another column will be found
numerously signed call for a
mass meeting at Masonic Hall to-
morrow evening to consider pro-
position to build a new school
house, or houses, for the town of
kirksville and the selection of site
for same. The people deserve
great credit for the vote cast, at
the recent election, in favor of the
loan and had there been anything
tangible ,r ineligible sbout the
proposition it would have carried
without difficulty; for that vote
shows that the working, thinking
people are in earnest upon the
subject of school houses. There is
no doubt if the righakind of prop
osition is put before the people,
it will be enthusiastically carried.
The expense of tearing down the
excellent walls of the old building
and the erection of new, that
that would probably be no better,
has long been stumbling block
to The success of securing money
to build new houses. But what
ever may be determined upon at
the meeting to-mo' row evening,
let it be SO plainly stat
ed, that there will not be shadow
of doubt as to what is intended.
Ii it is the intention to put an iron
roof on the old building, or some
other sort of roof, and make q
ward school of it, let it be SO stat
ed. If it is the intention to put a
building in the south ward that
will cost ten thousand dollars, say
so. 1t has been said by some that
whenever proposition is put be.
fore the people, about fifteer
"kickers" go to work to overturr
it. When fifteen kickers are able
to overturn any proposition, it i:
sufficient evidence that the propo
, sition in itself is wrong. When {
proposition OF the right kint
comes before the people, all the
kickers combined will not be abl,
: to overturn it, as the masses of th,
n people have common sense ant
: pay no attention to kickers unles
: they are kicking in the right di
e rection. Another thing to be guard
Il ed against is the appearance Of ex-
S travagance. In other places i,
d Missouri, elegant, eight room bull
dings with hot air apparatus fo
9 heating, have been put up for te
thousand dollars. Fifteen thou
:. sand dollars will give us such
building in the south ward, an
leave five thousand to purehas
- site and repair the old building
- This would give us two e1celler
- school buildings, and wheneve
- these should prove inadequate, "
are confident that the peopl
- would vote the necessary funds t
J., erect another. But whatever
:, done it should be kept in min
- -, that the people will not vote loa
- =. unless it is definitely and positive
ly understood what disposition wi
be made of the money.

--Stewartsville, Dekalb coun-

--Stewartsville, Dekalb coun-
-ty, Missouri, is having q great
boonm occasioned by the discovery
at depth of 642 feet, a vein of
coal two feet thick. The town is
all excitement and since the dis
covery, company has been
formed with a capital stock of
sl20,0C0 to operate the mine. If a
vein of coal two feet thick at that
depth, starts such a boom over in
that county what be the result if
they had a four foot vein within
thirty to forty feet of the surface,
as we have In Adair county.
1t is related that ten of the
ablest lawyers of a certain city
were interviewed on leading
points of the Interstate commerce
law, remarks the Toledo Bee, and
that five gave one Interpretation
while five took directly opposite
view. 1t is safe to conclude there
fore, that with such differences as
to the meaning of the law, it is
useless to conjecture what is to be
its effect on the business OF the
country. The experiment is now
on trial, and if experience shows
that amendments are needed, con-
gress will no doubt attend to the
matter next winter.
The greatest interest is fell
in high financial and manufacture
ing centers concerning the posi-
bility of Il general advance in pri-
ces during the coming six months.
The advances made within nine
months range from ten to so per
cent Manufacturing capacity has
been strained to its utmost capa-
city in all directions. Agricultur-
al prosperity has not kept pace.
Steel rails have advanced within
eighteen months from 500 to $40.
but wheat has not advanced from
81 to sl.5O. nor pork, or other
farm, or like products in proper
ton. Money has been crowded in

Disguised With Kansas.

Douglas Murray returned Satur-
day night from Johnson City,
Kansas, where he went in quest
of cheap lands. johnson City is
the county seat of Stanton county
and is in the southwest portion of
the state, about 400 miles from
Kansas CITY. Mr.. Murray says
he would not give his Audrain
farm of 30 acres for the whole of
Stanton County. The land after
you leave the Arkansas river is a
desert of sand hills without drop
of living water for sixty miles.
The land Will not grow any of the
tame grasses and the ouly things it
is good for is sorgum, millet, pump
kins and sweet potatoes. 1t grows
a short buffalo grass, but it takes
10 acres to Craze one COW. A num-
Der of Missourians have gone to
that section and all who have not
left are heartily sick Of the country.
Many OF them have gone there
without much money and having
spent that are in destitute circum-
stances.-Mexico Intelegencer.
